Individual Training

Individualized, one on one training with real-time feedback corrects issues while preventing bad habits from forming.

Training is one on one and real-time

Winter sport enthusiasts, skiers and boarders have different mountain goals. Whether you are looking to conquer moguls, or just make it down the terrain park safely, the Snow Biste deck and the Snow Biste method will train you to meet those goals quickly.

For those looking to compete in Alpine Ski Racing, the owner Kris is an active USSA Masters racer that understands the changing technology and techniques such as the Stivot or the Ligety line.

If you need to get up to speed fast for a big mountain vacation private training is ideal to get you ready.

It’s not covered in snow, isn’t windy and cold and doesn’t have the exact feel of snow, but all of the skills and muscles developed on it directly transfer to the slopes.

Its unique properties create more friction and therefore create more muscle. Repetitive actions and ongoing practice develop muscle memory much faster due to the pure focus on a particular skill.

Ultimately, off season ski training on the Snow Biste results in more skill and endurance in a shorter amount of time.

Mountain lessons for skiers of all ages

We offer a full learning process that starts with and builds upon the initial one hour fast start foundational session.

During that lesson we discuss the client’s mountain goals and time frames. We teach terminology and how to be happy and successful on the mountain the first day out.

The on deck portion of the lesson familiarizes you with the unique properties of the track while teaching you the most important skill in mountain sport – stopping. We do it in a way that is very unique – We Don’t Teach Pizza Here!

We teach the fundamentals of shape ski technology and modern boarding techniques.

Indoor training on the Snow Biste, physical fitness routines, a mountain transition lesson and ultimately guided mountain skills development are all a part of this fun and rewarding journey.

If you are a beginner, Kris has every confidence that you will be skiing on the deck by the end of your first training lesson. By the end of your fourth lesson you will be able to stop, turn, pivot, and safely get down the mountain.

I have been skiing for four years, but have not been very confident. I signed up for lessons with Kris to address skill, control, and safe form. I have only had one lesson so far and I can’t believe the improvement! I already feel like I have a great deal more control on the slopes. Plus, I’m no…

So so Happy! I’m getting it! Spent time going down Kit Carson yesterday and I could actually feel the skills, and could go back and forth many many times over(not just three!) I was swooshing and it felt natural, secondary! My hubby even said I finally looked relaxed while skiing correctly! Brian is…

Working with Kris on the ski desk was by far the best ski learning experience I’ve had. He obviously really knows his stuff and is able to communicate it well. Skiing on the deck gave me much more intense practice and with him right there watching, he could see exactly what I was doing when and coul…

Kris Buttenberg is a fabulous ski instructor.
He is friendly and professional, and excellent at helping me progress quickly with fun and challenging lesson plans.
He built a wonderful “Biste,” an inclined treadmill that makes it possible to ski and learn faster, even during the off season. I h…

My wife and I saw the article on Biste in the RGJ. We had plateaued in our skiing ability — basically being stuck at the “Advanced-minus” level for the last several years. We were ready and eager to take it to the next level. We had tried “on the mountain” lessons but were frustrated that in a one-h…

Kris Buttenberg, at Biste Technologies, has invented a truly one-of-a-kind experience in South Reno. It’s as close to skiing as you can get in the heat of a Nevada summer and we are working with him to provide access to SBA athletes over the summer. The machine demands ankle flexion and the activa…

Kris,
I truly appreciated having the fastest skier on the hill take time out to assist me with learning how to prepare for the race. I’m very optimistic that we’ll continue to clear up the items we’ve been working on and I’ll be quite a bit faster racing.
Best Regards,

We tried out this endless ski slope a few weeks ago and it was fantastic. It was the next best thing to being on snow and in one session I felt like I worked out this weird right leg under edging thing I could not put my finger on all winter. ‘Their’ alpine race watches and instructs, it’s very int…
